Charity to invest into housing development
A charity that houses and supports people with mental health problems, is set to invest more than £1million into one of their sites in Bedford.
The charity Mayday Trust is aiming to double in size by next year and is investing £1.3million in the re-development of its Holman House site on St Andrew’s Road, Bedford, with other developments in the pipe-line.
The new site is set to replace its current development in Ashburnham Road.
Chief executive officer at Mayday Trust Pat McArdle said: “This is no ordinary development.
“We view our role as not just simply providing accommodation for those that need it but building futures and changing lives. It’s such an exciting time for Mayday Trust.”
Last week the site contractors V E Parrott moved onto the site to begin work on the 19 flat complex due that is due to be completed in June 2013.
Housing services manager at Mayday Trust Darren Clayton: “We are thrilled that the months of planning with V E Parrott and Impartlinks has come to fruition. “We aim not to just provide one of the best accommodation portfolios in the sector, but the best with quality housing matching our commitment to premier support.
“The Holman House development is the first step to further improving the support we offer to those of our residents with mental health needs.”
Managing director at V E Parrott Chris Layram said: “It’s a great challenge redeveloping a property like this.
“Mayday Trust have had a great ideas for the project and we’ve been delighted to contribute to that and can’t wait to realise the vision.”
